A Laguna Beach ocean alert that rings only when six conditions align for an exceptional dive morning.

Why it surfaced

The bell checks swell, wind, rain, sun, water temperature, and a full model score, with no partial credit: if any signal is unknown, it stays silent. It has rung 41 times across three years and delivers its rare warnings through a free, no-account, no-tracking notification app.
